Sting performs “Show Some Respect” from his album and upcoming musical, The Last Ship. He is backed by a 14-piece band and actor and singer Jimmy Nail, who will appear in the upcoming stage production.
The Last Ship is set against the demise of the local Wallsend shipbuilding industry and tells the story of a group of unemployed shipyard workers who are inspired to take back their shipyard and build one last ship – not for their former employer, not for the government, but for their own pride and humanity.
Sting: The Last Ship airs on Great Performances, Friday, February 21, 2014 at 9 p.m., ET on PBS (check local listings).
